Ivanka Trump is ‘coveted’ by her father, says Omarosa

In her latest bombshell claims about her time as a White House senior aide, Omarosa Manigault Newman says President Donald Trump’s relationship with daughter Ivanka often crosses the line of “appropriate father/daughter behaviour”.

Ms Manigault Newman alleges that Mr Trump “covets his daughter”, who works with him as a senior White House adviser.

The lurid Ivanka claims are among a slew of eyebrow-raising allegations made in Ms Manigault Newman’s tell-all Unhinged, which hit stands Tuesday (US time) amid a wrecking ball publicity tour by the sacked Trump staffer.

Ms Manigault Newman described in the book alleged incidents where the president, 72, boasted about his daughter’s body and encouraged others to discuss her in sexual terms.

She said “based on my observations”, the pair’s relationship “jumps right over” appropriate father/daughter behaviour.
